[Bug 1290832] Re: No console display on D2xxx/N2xxx integrated graphics with raring enablement stack

I got access the the boxes in the data centre (there are two).

The one which was on 3.13 kernel: VGA output was fine
The one which was on 3.2 kernel: VGA output was fine
However when I upgraded the 3.2 to 3.8, the VGA output was still fine :-(

This was using a different VGA monitor than I had tried before. It's
possible that the 3.8 kernel had enabled a video mode which the original
monitor didn't like. That was AOC I2269V, also labelled model no
215LM00040. That monitor *should* be pretty modern, it has a "Windows 8
Compatible" sticker.

Anyway, sorry for the noise. This can be closed as I was unable to
reproduce it with a different monitor.

Title:
  No console display on D2xxx/N2xxx integrated graphics with raring
  enablement stack

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Installed Ubuntu 12.04.4 Server 64-bit on Intel D2700MUD motherboard
  (Atom D2700), 4GB RAM

  Installation process went fine. But after rebooting, after the grub
  screen the display was completely blank. This is using a VGA
  connection to an external monitor (the board also has a DVI output
  which I have not tried).

  The machine was however running fine, e.g. I was able to ssh to it
  after I had worked out what IP address it had picked up.

  Attempts to resolve the problem:

  * Add "nomodeset" to kernel command line (both with ctrl-e and in /etc/defaults/grub). No change.
  * Uncomment GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 in /etc/defaults/grub. This made the GRUB menu text appear larger, but still completely blank after that point.
  * Upgrade BIOS to latest version 0076 (it was on 0067). No change.

  The only way I have been able to get the console to work is to remove
  the enablement stack and go to 3.2.0-60 kernel

  # apt-get remove --purge linux-generic-lts-raring linux-headers-generic-lts-raring linux-image-generic-lts-raring
  # apt-get install linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image linux-image-generic linux-libc-dev linux-tools
  # dpkg-query -l | grep -i '3\.8\.0'   # then remove these packages too

  Note: this is not an X11 issue - this is a server install and I don't
  have X11 at all.

  Additional info: when booting the 3.8.0 kernel I got a bunch of
  messages in dmesg about drm and EDID. These do not appear at all when
  booting with the 3.2.0 kernel

  You can also see a bunch of mtrr errors/warnings with both 3.2.0 and
  3.8.0. On the system with 3.2.0 I get:
